    A Turtle? Income tax consultant? Messed up Ex-Cultist? Could you picture yourself (ladies) screaming, "Hump me big SHELDON, oh please don't stop SHELDON, you're my daddy SHELDON." .

    Who in the HELL made up our names and, more importantly, why the HELL did our parents pick them??

    SHELDON: From Old English place name meaning "from the hill on the ledge."

    My parents used to joke that they gave my siblings and I single-syllable names because it made it easier on them to yell at us.

    Strangely enough, there was more truth than humour in that statement.

    I don't know who came up with may name...but it means 'christian'. I guess I will forever be stuck with that title. (thanks a lot)

    That's funny GBL. I have to say, I've never thought of a name using that context before. LOL Skully, I always knew I was in trouble when I got the three syllable version.

    FIRST LETTER HOME
    Mum, I've got a lot to tell you.
    Me and Chuck have had a bust up.
    Now before you pull your hair out,
    Viv has given me a room.
    And I've met this film producer.
    Please don't laugh, his name is Sheldon.
    He says he can get my green card
    or his name's not Sheldon Bloom.
    Sheldon comes from California
    and he wants to take me out there.
    Oh, thanks for your last letter.
    I was thrilled to hear from you.
    I'm enclosing fifty dollars.
    If you want that dress, then buy it.
    Oh, incidently, Sheldon's mum likes Liberace, too!
    There are lots of things I miss here.
    No one makes a normal sandwich.
    You need Goliath's mouth to try and get through one of them.
    Sheldon's got a house in Bel Air.
    Well, it's really a pink mansion.
    It's got electric gates and armed guards,
    and he calls it "La Boheme!"
    Mum, I don't know how to say this,
    but American men are different.
    They seem at first quite normal,
    but I really fear they're not!
    They're all buzzy and electric,
    and so proud to be neurotic!
    And the thought of growing older seems to bother them a lot!
    Mum, New York is just amazing.
    I wish I could stay longer,
    but Sheldon's so dynamic he is sweeping me away.
    He is funny he is handsome... strangely handsome.
    Well, there's no words to describe him.
    You can't imagine Sheldon Bloom unless you know L.A.
